5 The haughty sinner have I seen, Nor fearing man nor God, Like a tall bay-tree fair and green, Spreading his arms abroad.
6 And lo! he vanish'd from the ground, Destroy'd by hands unseen: Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf was found Where all that pride had been.
7 But mark the man of righteousness, His several steps attend; True pleasure runs thro' all his ways, And peaceful is his end.
